[Avodah] how to reconcile

[Ben Waxman]

I remember seeing a parshan stating that this is why it took Rivka 20 years 
and Yitzhaq's tefilla before she could get pregnant; had she gotten pregnant 
right away, then she might have thought that Lavan's bracha to her 
contributed to her pregnancy. So by waiting 20 years she knew that what he 
said was meaningless.
